Chapter 1137 Empty Shell

After Chen Qing finished speaking, everyone in the conference room looked different for a moment.

They were very happy at first.

However, there were smart people on the scene. After thinking about it for a while, I quickly realized something was wrong.

Even though Wu Shanlin and others don’t know that Hollywood has a principle of “never invest in movies with your own money”, if you think about this plan in depth, it is more serious than investing in movies with your own money.

First of all, after joining Jinshu, they were promised some shares. As long as everything went well, they could basically be cashed out after the contract period was completed and become Jinshu shareholders.

Even if Xu Nuo shares do not exceed 10%, they will eventually become the boss.

Then, let’s talk about this plan.

Taking Mr. Zhang's "Hero" as an example, an investment of 250 million yuan is definitely an astronomical capital in the mainland at this stage. After all, at the public level, the rich people in the mainland with personal assets exceeding 250 million yuan are not as big as two.

If Jinshu borrowed a huge amount of 250 million yuan to invest in a film, everyone would naturally be happy if it succeeded. Once it failed, even if it was actually the big boss’s money would not be collected. In theory, the company would also fall into a negative asset situation. In recent times, a statement caused by the Giant Group incident is that it is not far from bankruptcy.

At that time, no matter how many shares are they holding, what is the use of?

You may even have to bear huge debts.

The atmosphere in the conference room was silent for a moment, and Wu Shanlin finally took the lead in asking: "Mr. Chen, is this part of the funds borrowed in the name of Jinshu Media, or is it the subsidiary Jinshu Pictures?"

When everyone heard this, they immediately cheered up again and looked at Chen Qing.

This question is very technical.

The key reason why the Jinshu System was established for more than a year is that the system is complicated.

Jinshu Media Group is just one of the Jinshu Department, and there is also Jinshu Academy Network Group, which is responsible for the theater business, and Jinshu Film and Television Tourism Development Group in Jiangsu with Jinshu Film and Television City as the core.

Let’s talk about Jinshu Media, the business scope of the company’s registered business includes film and television production, artist brokerage, advertising planning, etc. It includes Jinshu Pictures, Jinshu TV Production Company, Jinshu Brokerage Company, Jinshu Advertising Company and other subsidiaries, and most of them are in business status.

On the other hand, whether it is the parent company Jinshu Media Group, or its subsidiary Jinshu Pictures, etc., another major feature is the complex equity structure. This is mainly limited by the current domestic laws and regulations in China. Some foreign capital is prohibited from entering, some holdings shall not exceed 50%, and some can hold shares wholly. Therefore, both the parent company and many subsidiaries have completely different equity structures. As for whether some superficial shareholders hold on behalf of others, it is another matter.

However, there is no doubt that the entire Jinshu system is firmly controlled by a tycoon standing behind the scenes.

Besides, the senior executives who were sitting there, the equity reward clauses in the contract signed by the contract involved different company entities, including Wu Shanlin, Guan Yinan and other front-line executives. They basically had five-year contracts, and the equity reward subjects were Jinshu Media Group. After 5 years, they could obtain shares ranging from 5% to 10% based on their performance.

The second-tier executives of other subsidiaries basically signed subsidiaries such as Jinshu Film and Jinshu TV.

Therefore, Wu Shanlin's question is very intriguing.

If the funds for the production of "Heroes" are borrowed in the name of Jinshu Media, the debt responsibility may be overwhelmed by everyone. If the loan is borrowed in the name of Jinshu Film, even if it cannot escape the relationship in the future, at least, the parent company Jinshu Media needs to bear much less responsibilities, and the second-tier heads of other subsidiaries will not be affected by these debts.

When Chen Qing heard Wu Shanlin's question, she saw everyone else looking at it. She paused for a moment and said, "What the boss said is in the name of Jinshu Pictures."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing the appearance of all the senior executives at the scene, Chen Qing wanted to pull the corners of her mouth and hold it back.

In fact, Chen Qing also thought of this problem in the car she came back and mentioned to her boss that her first idea was of course to borrow money in the name of Jinshu Media. Unfortunately, her boss was kind and did not do so.

The boss still wants to do something and does not want to undermine the enthusiasm of a group of senior executives on Jinshu.

Otherwise, with Chen Qing's personality, Jinshu would have to make a hollow shell, rather than just involving Jinshu Pictures this time.

After all, this time it was really a bit irritating.

Chen Qing also made up her mind to investigate who was behind the scenes, so that she would not lack other people's faults in the future, so as to avoid all kinds of bullshits.

However, Chen Qing also understood that her boss was just a little kinder, but since she used this trick, she obviously did not feel any disturbance in her heart. Due to domestic legal restrictions, the Westeros system cannot absolutely control some businesses, but to a certain extent, the control of the debt rights is actually the same.

Chen Qing had always been worried that once Jinshu developed, it would be coveted by some people.

If you do this, the Jinshu system, which has been carrying a lot of debts, is like a "mess" in the eyes of some people. No one wants to take a lot of debts into their arms, and their covetousness will be much less.

Secondly, only by setting higher debt interest rates, the Westeros system can directly remove most of the profits of the Jinshu Group, making the company unprofitable, and even in extreme cases, directly turn the company into an empty shell as a whole, which will also block the coveting of all parties to a greater extent.

The final result is that even if the Westeros system does not have absolute control over the Jinshu system's shareholding, its control over this company will only become stronger and stronger.

Perhaps the answer given by Chen Qing made everyone's emotions slightly cushion. In addition, it seems that this is almost the only solution for the "Hero" project to be promoted. No one raised any objections, but discussed more practical issues.

Luo Qian, president of Jinshu Academy, asked again: "Mr. Chen, since this is the case, what will we do next on Zhongying?"

The plan discussed at the time was invested by Daenerys Entertainment, and Zhongying and Jinshu each assumed 10% of the budget. Now, Daenerys Entertainment has withdrawn, and Jinshu has promoted the project through loans, and the investment ratio has been increased to 90%. In this case, Luo Qian’s subtext is actually, is it necessary to pull Zhongying to play together?

Chen Qing was not in a state of intent this time, nodded and said to Wu Shanlin: "You talk to China Film in the afternoon. Unless they voluntarily withdraw, the cooperation will continue. However, since we will bear 90% of the funds, in terms of production, Jinshu will take the initiative. In the future, we will cooperate with China Film."

In fact, to put it bluntly, it is just buying money.

It mainly involves issuance.

At this stage, private film and television companies in China are not allowed to participate in distribution business, and foreign capital can't even think about it. In history, the first private film distribution license was obtained by Bona in 1999. Therefore, although most of the marketing and distribution work of "Say What to Do" in the New Year's Eve period was completed by Jinshu, it was still listed as the China Film brand.

It's definitely not free.

The same is true for the next "Hero", so there is no need to kick China Film out for 10% of its investment, which is not worth the loss.

Chen Qing said this, no one had any objections. Wu Shanlin asked again: "Mr. Chen, in the future, Daenerys Entertainment will buy out the overseas copyright of "Heroes"? What is the roughly charter?"

"One-time buyout, as for the price..." Chen Qing glanced around and said, "The effect of watching a movie requires you to do it with your heart."

Wu Shanlin hesitated a little and said, "Mr. Chen, I was wondering, can I sign a flexible agreement? The price fluctuates according to the overseas box office?"

Chen Qing smiled: "Are you very confident?"

Wu Shanlin also smiled: "This is not a project I am confident about. Mr. Westeros personally finalized and directed by Teacher Zhang, so it will definitely not be bad."

Chen Qing had no worries and nodded directly: "The boss must like this attitude. Since you have asked, I can agree now."

Afterwards, he talked about some details, and Chen Qing did not forget Master Zhang who was present, and asked if there were any difficulties in the preparations in the near future.

As long as there is continuous funds, there is certainly no problem with Master Zhang.

In fact, the national teacher is very motivated to this project, because the director paid a lot of money on Jinshu, which was 300,000 US dollars.

300,000 US dollars, equivalent to more than 2 million yuan. It can be said that Master Zhang has received the largest amount of money since his debut. Moreover, Jinshu added a 1 million yuan bonus for "Say What to Say" some time ago. There was no contract at all, so Master Zhang understood that he had followed the right boss, and knew that someone was standing behind the scenes of this company, which was a pity.

These are actually the result of Simon's personal interference.

Whether it is for Jinshu's executives or his film and television talents, Simon will never be stingy.

Just like Master Zhang, the two things that happened to Zhang were in a hot circle, but it was still profit. It was just a typical example of me treating you as a brother and you actually talked to me about money!

Tsk!

The first time I cooperated, "Say something well", the salary of the national teacher is 300,000 yuan, which is the market price, and Simon will not deliberately give it too much.

With the hit "Say What to Say" and "Hero" is another big project, it is definitely not kind to calculate RMB for Mr. Zhang, so it is directly raised to US$300,000, which is of course incomparable to Jet Lee, but it is already the first one for the mainland directors, and the dividend clause has been added. Although Mr. Zhang himself feels that it is not realistic to make a profit and get dividends, he feels comfortable inside.

It's clear.

Therefore, even if Jinshu's control over all aspects of the project is strictly controlled and he can no longer do his best as before, the national teacher takes it for granted.

The meeting ended and it was already noon.

There was no big fanfare for lunch, but directly had a working meal at the company. Chen Qing asked Jinshu about two upcoming TV projects, "Super Girl" and "Kangxi's Private Visit" at the dining table.

All have been finalized.

Among them, "Super Girl" has been bumpy in the past six months.

The main reason is that in the past two years, major local TV stations have just entered satellites. Once they become "satellite TV" and have been upgraded from local TV stations to national TV stations that can reach more audiences, provincial TV stations will inevitably not want to share programs with other TV stations.

Coupled with "Super Girl", a rare form of singing talent show in China, and the copyright traction, "Super Girl" finally changed several times, and it was still based on Jiangsu Satellite TV with Chen Qing's personal lobbying.

Currently, "Super Girl" has been in the final stage of publicity and preheating on Jiangsu Satellite TV. It is expected to be aired on June 7. The first season will last from June to August for three months. Compared with the once half-year period, it is mainly because everyone is not very confident.

In addition, the venue for the first season is limited to Jiangsu, rather than being divided into major competition areas across the country.

As for the specific production, after negotiation, it is completely controlled by Jinshu Media. Jiangsu Satellite TV is only responsible for content review, program copyright, and future singer signing rights, all of which are on Jinshu's side.

In terms of profit distribution, the program's implanted advertisements are completely occupied by Jinshu. At the same time, Jiangsu Satellite TV does not pay for the program purchase fee. Instead, according to the usual practice in this era, Jinshu will be given a certain advertising period. How much Jinshu can sell depends entirely on his ability.

This is also considered a risk at your own risk.

It is obvious that the higher the ratings of the program, the higher the profits of Jinshu will be. Once it fails, no one will be blamed.

In addition, the situation is much better in "Kangxi's Private Visit to the Secret Service".

From production to distribution, everything went smoothly. At present, the first round of premiere rights have been obtained by four satellite TV stations, namely Beijing, Shandong, Su and Guangdong. The transaction model is also an advertising period, rather than cash purchase. It is planned to be broadcast on the four stations on July 1.

After lunch, Chen Qing was about to leave, when Guan Yinan chased after him again.

After looking at the other person's expression, Chen Qing took her into the car, first sent the driver and assistant out, closed the car door and asked, "What's the matter?"

"That, the three heroines of "My Fair Princess"," Guan Yinan hesitated a little, and said in the end: "It was Xiao Zhao and the others. Maybe they saw the treatment of Jing Xi and An Qi, so I asked me to ask, Mr. Chen, actually, I also want to know Mr. Westeros' attitude?"

Chen Qing understood as soon as she heard it.

Guan Yinan cares more about the second half. The matter is very simple. If the actresses and even female producers at Jinshu’s agency are all women of their bosses, she, as the person in charge, will inevitably be a little difficult to do when facing a group of aunts.

As for the three heroines of "My Fair Princess", they obviously just mentioned it casually.

Last time my boss came to China, the three girls were also called to serve on a cruise ship in Taihu Lake, probably because they immediately became interested.

Chen Qing is a very careful person, especially when it comes to her own boss. She specifically mentioned whether to arrange a yard to be put together. Anyway, it was just a good idea. Her own boss obviously didn't have that kind of interest, and just said casually that no one was needed.

Obviously, it's just a casual play.

Thinking of this, Chen Qing said directly: "Let them stop thinking about it. In addition, Sister Guan, public is public, private is private, you don't have to pay attention to what happens in private, but when it comes to work, if someone takes Qiao with his or her identity, you can deal with it according to the company's regulations, or tell me directly and I'll help you with it."

This was clear, and Guan Yinan immediately felt confident.

If you think about it carefully, the women under Jinshu Agency's agency are actually pretty good, and they are really not arrogant because of their favor. And Chen Qing in front of you, who is also his woman, is simply admired.

This may also be someone's natural vision of choosing a person.
